JAKARTA - For those who have been at home for weeks for physical distancing, boredom will surely come. Adults may adapt more easily. But what about children? This moved Britain's children's martial arts teacher Andrew Baldock and his friend Jason Baird.

The two men decide to travel around Stockport City to entertain the kids right in front of the house dressed up to resemble the superhero, Spiderman. Reported by ABCNews, the two fictional Spiderman traveled around using one hour of exercise per day allowed by the British government during the lockdown.

Baldock said he had the costume for a long time when he worked in the retail business. “Once you wear a Spiderman costume, you forget who you are. You have just become a superhero character. You just showed the kid side of yourself, "said Baldock, quoted Friday, April 3.

Baldock has also been doing this activity for more than a week. To the point, this action became popular on social media as "Stockport Spiderman." In fact, the action has attracted more than a thousand people who joined the Facebook group for "Stockport Spiderman".

Interestingly, in the Facebook group, they can ask Baldock and his friends to visit their doorstep. For Baldock, this is simply fantastic. They did not expect that the action would get a lot of attention from the Stockport public.

"Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. It is very precious. Although it was uncomfortable because it felt a little hot and sweaty inside. However, when we see families happy with us, that's what we need, and it sure makes our hearts happy, ”said Baldock.

“They (kids) were jumping up and down and shouting 'Spider-Man, Spider-Man,' waving, and throwing a big smile on their face. Just fantastic excitement because I think we all need a little bit of joy at the moment, "he added.

Said Baldock reasoned. The feeling of joy he expressed was clearly honest. England is now in a very tough situation. The COVID-19 outbreak in Britain has killed 179 people and infected more than 22,000 across Britain, including the royal family, Prince Charles and Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
